[epub] Re: Blogs?

["Jill E. Vaile" <vailerosenberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First, I do agree with the use of RSS aggregates. They are huge and 
gaining momentum daily. However, I do not see blogs going down the 
drain. The use of blogs AND
RSS feeds is where this is all heading- a combo if you will. I am 
certainly NOT referring to the ppc ads, or so-called covert paid 
bloggers. Think back a (relatively) short time, to the days before web 
site ads were even used. They came into play and evolved to a less 
annoying format once the big players smelled m-o-n-e-y. Blogs are, if 
not quite yet, soon to be, a mirror of the trend of online commerce. 
Yes, they have been somewhat over-hyped. But the concept is far beyond 
the basic site- whose focus, essentially, is to sell something. Don't 
forget the power that blogging has displayed within it's small 
communities. Interest  has been generated- by media, politicians, and 
slowly but surely, the general public. As long as the concept of bona 
fide info available prior to traditional outlets, or exclusive of them 
altogether, is attributed to blogs, they will continue their 
momementum. The addition of RSS feeds only enhances their offerings.
